A gunfight in Tijuana isn't really a big deal, and Danny being able to smooth things over wasn't much of an achievement, not even as difficult as transporting Glaev's corpse to Los Angeles.
Out of the fourteen combatants, ten died, two were critically injured, one was lightly wounded, and only one came out unscathed.
Besides the fourteen combatants, Danny had six other men under his command, two of which died.
As for Gao Guang's group, there were just three of them, and one, John, got hurt.
The intensity of the battle was not high, but the ferocity was shocking, with a horrifying death rate of fifty percent and, including injuries, a casualty rate of seventy percent.
The victory was hard-won, but a win is a win nonetheless.
If Danny hadn't thrown money at the problem in a desperate bid to rally his troops at the critical moment, the battle would have been lost. There were no other possibilities.
